You are given n
segments on a number line; each endpoint of every segment has integer coordinates. Some segments can degenerate to points. Segments can intersect with each other, be nested in each other or even coincide.
The intersection of a sequence of segments is such a maximal set of points (not necesserily having integer coordinates) that each point lies within every segment from the sequence. If the resulting set isn't empty, then it always forms some continuous segment. The length of the intersection is the length of the resulting segment or 0 in case the intersection is an empty set.
For example, the intersection of segments [1;5]and [3;10] is [3;5] (length 2), the intersection of segments [1;5] and [5;7] is [5;5] (length 0) and the intersection of segments [1;5] and [6;6] is an empty set (length 0).
Your task is to remove exactly one segment from the given sequence in such a way that the intersection of the remaining (n−1) segments has the maximal possible length.
Input
The first line contains a single integer n (2≤n≤3⋅105) — the number of segments in the sequence.
Each of the next n lines contains two integers li and ri (0≤li≤ri≤109) — the description of the i-th segment.
Output
Print a single integer — the maximal possible length of the intersection of (n−1)
remaining segments after you remove exactly one segment from the sequence.

为了得到最大交集去掉的一定是起点数最大的或者终点数最小的,或者无论怎样取交集都是0.所以只要计算出去掉起点最大和终点最小的比较交集最大的数值是多少即可。
